50 mA boost converter using Pulse Frequency Modulation,
or PFM, technique, in 5-lead SOT-89 or a 5-lead SOT-23
package. Only 3 external components are needed to com-
plete the switcher design.
The ILC6390 automatically senses load variations to choose
between 55% and 75% duty cycles. Normal operation is 55%
duty at 155kHz; when load currents exceed the internal com-
parator trip point, a “turbo mode” kicks in to provide extend-
ed on-time switching (75% duty at 100kHz oscillation).
Requiring only 30μA of supply current, the ILC6390
achieves efficiencies as high as 85% at 5V yet shuts down
to 0.5μA max.
Standard voltages offered are 2.5, 3.3, and 5.0V and is
available in both a 5 lead SOT-23 and 5 lead SOT-89 pack-
age for small footprint applications.
In addition, the ILC6391 is configured to drive an external
transistor to achieve higher power levels.
